~~Vote by replying to voting thread with your five favorites in order:  
Top choice gets 5 points, next gets 4 points and so on to 1 point for your fifth favourite.

~~You're not allowed to vote for your own song.

~~Voting continues until the 25th of January, 2010

~~If you miss a submission deadline, you will not be entered in that event, but WILL be allowed to enter the next event.
However, there will STILL be an expectation that you comment and vote in the event you are not participating in, unless you have a valid reason for not being able to.

~Rule changes may be suggested by any participant in their entry post.  Changes are made only when a majority of that event's voters specify a "yes" vote along with their contest votes.

SCORING: Unlike PAOTY, scores for each Decathlon event are not cumulative. The winner of each event gets 9 Decathlon points, 2nd gets 8 and so on. This should make the contest very close throughout the next 20 weeks.
A Leaderboard will be posted after the first event

HAVE FUN!!!!!!  

I LOVE THIS ROUND!!! I'll probably do a power ballad about gaming/anime.

Shotgun Billy Joel! So many choices...and as for nerd humour? I'll think of somethin'...

"Hard Video Game" to Chicago's "Hard Habit To Break" was done months ago. I think I'll revise it for Decath.

So...since Jeff is such a nerd...can I just submit a parody about him?  ;)

Sounds good to me

I can see where this is going... your old trib "The Write We Know As Jeff Reuben" to "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald". If that's the case, my v-game rant has been buried prematurely in this comp. All hail the Elf!

Actually we could all do parodies about each other because parody authors are nerds  ;)

Then Silver Power could enter my tribute parody because I'm the biggest nerd on AmIRight!

Ha ha ha!  I honestly hadn't even considered that...I was just wanting to tease Jeff...(and I don't actually know if he's even read the thread since my comment).

I have something that I'm working on...non-Jeff related...hoping to finish this one!

hey everybody. Hope holidays went well for you all. Mind if I toss my hat in again?

It's a list of x-men. I think it's nerdy enough, and I hope the novelty is funny enough.

Welcome back!

I see that we only have one entry so far. So may I take upon this opportunity to beg for an extension, whatever other people need? My parody is only a fifth of the way started...and on my laptop. Which is still in repairs. Which I am quite pissed about, of course.

So....please? Anyone else got a date that'd work for me as well? I'm presuming we all need one (except 2nz, and he's not a regular). So how 'bout it?

-sigh-

Alright, You guys have till the 15th to write a parody for this round. 4 extra days!

Mine's done. I'll put the link up soon. Thanks for the extension, though. I've been having HORRIBLE internet speeds lately.

Don't know what song I'm going to parody but I'm going to do a tribute to my favorite nerd-based show as of late: "The Big Bang Theory"

http://tammyconnors.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/the-big-bang-theory-vm43.jpg

If anybody wants to toss out possible songs that might work with this idea please help me out, I was thinking maybe "Big Shot" by Billy Joel but I'm not too sure how 'soft rock' that is...

I DKTOS for that one, but remember: power ballads are considered soft rock.

Oh my gosh!  I finally finished one on time, and we got an extension?  ;)  I could have waited four more days to finish???

Sigh...

Oh well...mine is done.  And submitted.  Should be up tomorrow.  :)

Looking forward to it heavily! I'll v/c after school.

I kind of paired "soft rock" with "easy listening," which I hope is okay...and if it's NOT okay with anyone...that's too bad...because that's what I did.  Hee hee.

That's not okay with me! How could you possibly do that?! Haha

I've started writing a new parody, as I don't think it's safe to wait for my precious laptop when there's a deadline to meet. So I'll be dropping "An Innocent Nerd" and have started "Say Goodbye to Forum Trolls" (working title, it's a story so whatever chorus line ends up fitting the parody as a whole will be the final title...though this one has a ring to it). Guess the original songs!

So mine is up...it's "Solo and Indiana" at this link:

And...there are some different versions of the OS out there...but this is the one I used:

Say Goodbye To Forum Trolls

Vid for 'Say Goodbye To Hollywood' by Billy Joel

Here goes nothing:

Dial-up is acting crap right now, so I can't get the video up right now.

I know I'm late... But still on time but the last one to submit anything but my parody of "Fireflies" by Owl City (which is extremely indie but also soft rock) is coming on Friday...

The title (and I know that DJ Blaze will get a kick out of this) is... "Pokemon"
